I think bringing home your child is one of the most scariest things ever. You walk out of the those hospital doors and there is no turning back. You can’t return your baby if something goes wrong. I have been telling all of my friends lately that they should give you a manual to take home.
After strapping in baby to our car, we went on our first journey… to our house. I distinctively remember telling my husband to slow down even though he was barely going 30 mph. I was just worried about every little bump in the road, after all we were carrying precious cargo.
Walking through the front door for the first time with our baby was the best feeling ever. I want to share with you a few game changing items that really helped us out these first couple weeks with our baby.
Snuzpod
The Snuzpod is amazing! This mini crib/ slightly larger moses basket is a definitely a lifesaver. The fact that you can zip down the sides and you can attach it to your bed really helps with late night feeds. If you didn’t know in my labor and delviery story , I discuss my c-section which caused us to camp out in our living room for a few days. Being that the snuzpod is easily portable this in the living room with us as well. Its so helpful to place the baby in if you need free hands or convenient nap times.
Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep
My husbands favorite item! This makes the perfect temperature bottle in under two minutes. Extremely useful for those 3am feeds. Also, helpful for when you have a screaming baby who needs a bottle FAST!
Tommee Tippee Diaper Genie
I didnt know how much I loved this one until it was time to empty the first lot of diapers. When my husban opened it up and I realized the smell that this product hid from us, I knew it was “THE ONE.” It holds up to 180 diapers!
Hatch Night Light
The hatch lamp is so conveneint when it comes to bed time. It has a million different light settings and offers different white noises to get your baby to sleep. What I love most is that you can control everything it does from your phone. You can change the color( which you can customise), sound, brightness, and even add a timer.
Diaper Caddy
This diaper caddy is great for the lazy parent. We have two of them. One we keep in our lounge, and one we keep in our room. Our diaper caddy is filled with a changing mat, diapers, wipes, pacifiers, bibs, burp cloths, hand sanitizer, and basically anything you need for baby so you dont have to leave where you are to change baby.
